Volvo Ants is an Aero-Neumatic-Transport-System

Volvo Ants truck designed by designer Alex Marzo. Envisioning the future of Long-Haul Transportation for 2025. This client sponsored project was a study in how to improve transportation on a larger scale. This concept explores the possibilities in Biomimiciry; the examination of nature, its models, systems, processes, and elements to emulate or take inspiration from in order to solve human problems. The Volvo Aero-Neumatic-Transport-Systems is inspired by ants. Their ability to communicate with each other, distribute food, and all responsibilities in their community is fascinating. The idea is to lease micro-containers to multiple companies to make sure they are filled to capacity. Their union is flexible, therefore allowing better articulation in navigation and avoid jack knife accidents.

Far too much wasted volume and the vehicle is too unmaneuverable for being a delivery truck. With all the extra area and joints and those unnecessary air vents the air drag might well be worse than a conventional truck.
